 Does every late model driver need a nickname?
-
Probably not but everybody has one.

Everyone does need a nickname because nicknames and catch phrases are about 75% of a WRG late model broadcast... Am I wrong that most of the local track announcers do a better job than the announcers the series brings?

Negative, if everyone has a nickname then nicknames lose some of their special/cool factor. My favorite is when someones nickname doesn't denote speed. I've heard enough "Rockets, Missile's, Bandit's, Hurricane's" for one lifetime

Chris {Nikki don't you lose my Numberman} was great with those names. I wonder what he would with that DLM drivers last name of Picklesimer ? LOL ! !

NO!

They don’t, but nicknames do tend to make their way to their merchandise, so I don’t think the drivers mind.

No, nicknames should be earned. Rick doesn't understand that.

I agree. Rick thinks every driver should have one automatically.
A nickname should be earned not given. Kind of like people wanting handouts with no work.

I think Rick just likes nicknames because it’s probably easier to remember and quicker to spit out. I was at a WoO race about ten years ago and Rick was chiming in with the local announcer to give the local crate support division drivers nicknames if they didn’t airway have one.

That is for sure ! ! And getting more popular by the day ! !

If your last name is Brown, they'll call you Downtown.

Back in the old days when cars were driven differently you would be called " Back it in Black " if your last name was Black.

holy cow you mean we actually agree on something! Cheers!
It just makes it all sound so childish. When I seen that Bob Jenkins died I thought about all the races I heard him call and how he called everyone by their names. Rick should pay attention to that. Air Force Austin Winger is not needed!

If your last name was Rhoads, your name certianly would be " DUSTY " ! !

Sade song seems like a strange musical inspiration for a nickname…….skid row…youth gone wild?
Now that’s a fitting nickname for the kid in question.
Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
